The White Topaz.

The white topaz found near Pixies Peake
is almost equal in value TO the diamond, says
G. F. Hobert in the Globe-Democrat. Not
many people know this but found a topaz
on the banks of the Platte River this summer
and sent it to u lapidary in New York TO
have it cut. 1t weighed 1928 carats, and the
lapidary sent back word that be would give
me $50 for it. refused the offer, and inves-
tgation disclosed the fact that i'll had sold the
stone it would have found its way into some
of the large jewelry stores of the metropolis,
where, cut into innumerable small stones,
it would have been offered for sale as genuine
diamonds. Clear white topaz is worth SO
carat. A three or four carat, well cut stone,
will cost you $50 or $40. The white topaz
has the briliancy and hardness of the dia-
mond, and differs from it only in being some
what transparent. Its angle of refraction
differs only slightly from that ofthe diamond.
1t is rare, too.
